Me and my Annette, we was as fond as we could be
We was set to marry in October 33
I set my sights to courtin her, as fine as she could be
I never ever noticed her best friend Marilee
Took a job at the saw mill
I bought my girl a ring
Had a pre-wedding party, close friends n family
Everything was fine, eatin homemade ice cream
I swear I never noticed maid of honor Marilee

My Sweet Annette was left standing at the altar (2x).

Marilee was taken ill, it was several miles from home
Back then it wasn't fittin for a girl to leave alone
Sweet Annette, she asked me to walk her to the door
As innocent as children back before the war

My Sweet Annette was left standing at the altar(2x).

Lord have mercy for what we done, Lord have mercy when two people get along
Neither one of us had done anything like that, you see

By the next sunset, I had eloped with Marilee(3x),

My Sweet Annette was left standing at the altar.
